Spanish to English translation tips
- English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out. Spanish drops subject pronouns and marks gender on nouns and adjectives, so a good translation picks the right gender agreement and the right level of formality (tú vs. usted) from context.
- Spanish distinguishes formal and informal 'you' (usted vs tú). The translator produces a neutral register by default, so add a cue like 'formal' if you are writing to a customer or an older audience.
- Nouns carry grammatical gender and adjectives must agree, so one English word like 'tired' becomes cansado or cansada depending on who it describes.
- Questions and exclamations open with inverted marks (¿ and ¡); the AI adds them automatically even though English has no equivalent.
English false friends to watch for
- embarazada looks like “embarrassed” but means pregnant.
- actualmente looks like “actually” but means currently.
- ropa looks like “rope” but means clothes.
- éxito looks like “exit” but means success.
